Live From Death Row by Mumia Abu-Jamal is by far the most powerful story that I've read so far in this class. I liked so many things about this article. I liked how he described so many occurences with the reader. Examples of this includes the visit from his daughter, which was heartbreaking, Harry Washington, the body cavity strip search, and the daily two hour exercise, which got me so angry because everyone in prison should have been treated equally.
So many lines in this story made me think, such as "death row prisoners are the best behaved and least disruptive of all inmates, law is politics, a black man has no rights that a white man is bound to respect", etc. It's really a sad story, and it could potentially change people.What did he actually do?
